Keogh Lab - Evolutionary biology & ecology of reptiles and amphibians

My primary research interest is the study and evaluation of evolutionary processes and we work mostly on reptile and frog systems because they are the animals I know the most about. My research interests and those of the lab are quite broad. We 'concentrate' on four main research areas which are described below. Of course there is overlap between these research themes, particularly in some of the molecular methods used to tackle questions. Check out our lab publications to get a better feel for what my lab does.

Lab achievements

Dr Conrad Hoskin won a Eureka Prize (2009) for Early Career Species Discovery

Dr Megan Higgie won the R.A. Fisher Prize (2009) from the Society for the Study of Evolution

Possibly the greatest achievement of our lab - our work on sexual deception in African flat lizards was featured on the 'Colbert Report' in segment called 'When animals attack our morals.'
